Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Strong winds and spring tides may cause large waves and spray overtopping on the coast. Areas most at risk include coastal areas at Dunster Beaches, Blue Anchor, Steart, Stolford and Brean.
The detailed tidal information for those who use it is for a peak level at Hinkley Point. Please note the high tide on Monday evening is not forecast to meet the Flood Alert threshold. The forecast high water is at 08:00 AM on 09/04/2024 with a level of 7.04 mAODN with westerly force 8 winds. (mAODN is height above average sea level - for more info refer to local tide tables.)
Our incident response staff are closing flood gates and checking defences. We continue to monitor levels closely. Please be careful along beaches, promenades, coastal footpaths and roads as large waves and sea spray could be dangerous.
This message will be updated by 12:30 PM on 09/04/2024, or as the situation changes.
